JumboCast: webcasting for college athletics
Description
This web site was written mostly by hand, using EditPlus, which is a step or seventeen above Notepad. It was coded (such as it is) and tested on PCs running Windows 95 and 2000 and IE 5.x and 6.x, but there should be nothing in it that wouldn't run on any JavaScript-enabled browser. I have not tested it on a Mac.
There is some scripting for some of the features — most notably, links to the live or archived webcasts now appear in the appropriate places (on the front page, the upcoming schedule page, or the archive page) automagically, based (mostly) on the current date and time. This is better than having to hand-edit the static HTML files all the time. The scripting is done in PHP, which I didn't know before I started using it. (Luckily, it's a lot like JavaScript.) No, I'm not a masochist; PHP was the only server-side scripting language available to me on my host's system.
Broadcasts and user-submitted information are stored in MySQL, which (according to them) is "the World's Most Popular Open Source Database". PHP and MySQL seem to play particularly nicely together.
